Vizsla Club Of Illinois Specialty, Harper Valley Jr College, Palatine, Illinois

It was a good turn out, and this year's show was better then last year due to the fact that we had people from Iowa and Wisconsin showing their dogs. We're very delighted that they came to help support our SPECIALTY. The dog taking points was "The Baron of Batavia" and he has just begun his show career. The bitch who one and took Best of Winners and Bost of Opposite Sex finished that day and became a champion - - - - none other than the one we've just been reading about, Rotkopf's Sencational Robin, owned and handled by Joyce Smith. Best of Breed was taken by Ch. Polar Kaps Sporting Goods. This was his second year in a row to win Best of Breed at the Illinois Specialty.

There were many fine looking dogs that did not win, but placed, and we would not have had a successful show if it had not been for them coming out and competing. There is always the next show and next year for the Illinois Specialty. They could be the Best of Winners, Best of Opposite, and/or Best of breed. There are so many nice Vizslas out there who are not being shown, I hope by next year we will have a bigger and better turn out than this year. The show site is an easy one to get to. It's right off the Illinois tollway. The Fox River Valley Kennel Club always puts on a great show. So, if you are thinking about showing your pride and joy, do come out for the Specialty show next year. Hope to see you there.
